Officer Elections
Our Officer Elections are the biggest student elections in Birmingham, with thousands voting each year.
It’s your chance to decide who will lead the Guild of Students for the next academic year!
We’re on the lookout for people who are interested in becoming one of our Officers and have the opportunity of a lifetime! Being an Officer is no regular job; one minute you’ll be meeting with leaders at the University to create change on behalf of our students, then the next you’ll be planning large-scale events such as Welcome Week or Grad Ball.
It’s not only a chance to influence the direction of student life and student experience at Birmingham, but it’ll also give you the opportunity to drive change, as well as develop your leadership and problem-solving skills which will only strengthen your CV.
If you become a Full-Time Officer, you will be paid a full-time salary of £26K for the Academic Year, July 2026 – July 2027! Part-Time Officers will be paid approximately £26k (pro rata) for their work around their studies.
This is your chance to put yourself forward or recommend someone you think has got what it takes for one of these special roles. You can also find all of our relevent election documents below.
